Technically we do not need "proof" that our users are human, not even when using AdSense to monetize our websites.

The only reason Google think we do is because they implemented AdSense incorrectly. E.g. Using an impractical and underpriced PPC model. If they used a fixed pricing model this would not be a problem, and fake clicks would not even be an issue.

How does fixed pricing mean you don't need to care about bots?

The site claims they get 1M visitors per day; should an advertiser believe them?

>>jefftk+hc
No, of course not. An advertiser should conduct do actual diligence, experiment, and find what works.

I am reminded of a story of a retailer who adódnak l accidently stopped advertising online and so no adverse change in sales. While I can't find the exact one I have in mind, it seems this isn't rare.
